Foreign Office updates Israel travel advice to red alert

  • Britain has advised against all travel to Israel due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, which has included deadly strikes.
  • The Foreign Office updated its travel advice to a red alert to reflect the increased danger, putting Israel on the same level as Iran, where all travel is advised against.
  • Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport is closed until further notice, effectively cutting off international air travel, and airlines have halted flights to and from Tel Aviv.
  • Iran has warned it would target US, UK, or French bases in the region if they shot down missiles heading for Israel, amid continued missile strikes between the two countries.
  • Major carriers, including El Al, Lufthansa, Swiss, Air France, KLM, Delta, and United Airlines, have suspended flights to Tel Aviv, with some suspensions lasting until October.
